Parking
-
Parking on Lexington is free after 6 pm, there’s a small “honor” lot next to Downtown Books across the street from us, & the public Rankin Garage is one block to the west. The first hour is free. After the first hour, the rate is $0.75 per hour. You will be charged $0.75 for each fraction of an hour. So if your ticket to enter reads 6:30 pm, and you exit at 8:31 pm, you would get the first hour (to 7:30) free, then you would be charged $0.75 for the hour from 7:30 to 8:30, and another $0.75 for the one minute into the next hour, so it would cost $1.50. The automated booths are set up to take Visa & MasterCard.

What with our inability to control weather, the global economy, import operations & our suppliers, our wine list is subject to rapid, unplanned revisions. Changes in the list—varietal, winery, price and/or vintage—may occur in the actual list at Bouchon before we update them here.
